CEDIA EMEA Region Opens Awards Entries

cedia-uk-awards-0214The CEDIA Awards recognize and promote high quality system design, installation and integration within the home automation industry. The awards are open to Home Technology Professional (HTP) members across Region 1 (the UK and Europe, Russia and the CIS, the Middle East, Africa, India and Pakistan).

CEDIA has made some significant changes to the scheme this year by announcing two new categories, developing a brand new website and launching a simplified online entry process. This new system allows members to draft, edit and review their entries before submitting the completed entry. Members may submit as many projects as they wish, and in multiple categories. The easy to use system ensures that entrants submit a variety of documentation including the client’s brief, details on the solution installed and the customer’s verdict. Supporting information such as high resolution images, kit lists and schematics also need to be included. The closing date for the awards is Monday 7th April.

The CEDIA Awards 2014 categories are as follows:

  • Best Media Room under £15,000
  • Best Media Room over £15,000
  • Best Home Cinema under £40,000
  • Best Home Cinema £40,000 – £100,000
